Great Location / Close to St Louis
We are a family of 5 with a small dog. We found this house and it was perfect! The location was great as we were able to walk to Historic Main Street or in the opposite direction to Raising Cane’s. We felt very safe in the neighborhood. We wanted to visit the arch and city museum and each destination was about 30 minutes away. Super easy drive to the city. Rachel was super easy to reach and responded very quickly! We had a tv mishap and she responded within moments of texting her & the issue was resolved quickly!Also, I was impressed with the hot water! I love my hot showers in the morning and with 5 people—there was still enough hot water to go around!The exposed brick walls and high ceilings just added to the charm of the house.

Great for our family get together
Our family stayed here for a short visit with our st. Louis relatives. Rachel is amazing! My mother resides in the nursing home facility next door. I want sure if the door would be wide enough for her wheelchair to fit. Rachel went out of her way to measure the door opening. It was perfect!

Perfect stay!
I chose this property for the location, but would go back for the comfort and coziness of the home. The house included everything you could need in the kitchen and bathroom and made the trip very easy. It was very clean and very well organized. The offstreet parking was a plus. Highly recommend, Especially if you want something close to the Lindenwood campus and the downtown area.

Fantastic St.Charles location
A charming spot, all the great amenities (located right behind the former Miss Aimee B's if you're familiar with St. Charles history). I will happily book again! The host is very communicative and helpful. Bathroom is on first floor, bedrooms on the second, fyi.

Great place for our family to stay while visiting over Christmas
This place was great. They put up a tree for us since we were going to be there over Christmas. There were 5 of us, 2 in each bedroom and 1 on the couch. The couch has a piece that pulls out from underneath it to make a full size bed. They have linens for that bed in the laundry room. The two upstairs beds were comfortable and the pillows were good. The living room had two couches and 2 chairs so there was plenty of places to sit. The dining room was larger than it appeared in the pictures so that was nice. The kitchen had what we needed. We were not there for many meals. The bathroom was good. It has a washer and dryer and detergent. So we were able to do a load of laundry. The shower has body wash, shampoo and conditioner. That was really nice, not to have to bring our own. There isn't room on the sink to place things put there is the top of the dryer so a lot of our personal items went there and it was close to the sink so that was fine. It is almost exactly a half mile to walk down Jackson street to Main street St.Charles. The young adults walked and us older adults were able to just park around 3rd street and walk the last bit. It is uphill the walk back so keep that in mind when you decide which to do!! There are a lot of shops, restaurants and bars on the main street. We only made it once since we were there to visit relatives. But it is entirely worth checking out. I would highly recommend this VRBO and would stay here again!
